դէ գիտէք, որ ըստ gdpr֊ի կայքերը ձեզ հարց են տալիս քուքիների վերաբերեալ։ յաճախ պարզապէս թռած են դէմքին, ասելով՝ օ՞կ ես, ասա՝ օկ եմ, որ դէմքիցդ իջնեմ։
ու դէ մարդիկ ասում են՝ հա, օկ, դիր քո քուքին, ու չեն հասկանում ինչի ա իրենց կեանքը սէնց բարդ։ եւրոպական բիւրոկրատների պատճառով ա բարդ։ որ իբր լուծում են տալիս ինչ֊որ հարցի, բայց էնպէս, որ լուծում էդքան էլ չի, բայց մարդկանց նեարդերին ազդում ա։
սակայն այս կայքը՝ www ստեղծողի նախագիծը՝ հարցնում ա, ու ունի հնարաւորութիւն՝ browse without cookies։ էդքան պարզ։ ընդամէնը պէտք էր, եթէ դէմքին թռնում ես, այլընտրանք տալ։
you know, that because of gdpr web sites started to punch you in a face asking if you’re ok they will store cookies in your browser.
and people usually say - yes, ok, put your cookie or whatever it is, i don’t understand, just get out of my face. and wonder why life became so hard. because of european bureaucrats. this happens when you try to come up with some solution, but instead you don’t necessarily solve the problem, but leave many people doing useless things.
however this site, which, by the way presents technology from www creator, gives you an alternative: browse without cookies. that simple. and noone has to suffer. there only had to be the alternative.

Third, and this has been touted by others already (and even rebutted), the disappearance of the public web in favor of mobile and web apps, walled gardens (Facebook pages), just-in-time WebSockets loading, and AMP decreases the proportion of the web on the world wide web, which now seems more like a continental web than a “world wide web”.

there are people, who research migration patterns of humans. humans migrate toward countries/places with more developed economy, also to the places with a better climate, to the places where many people already live.
do you aware, of a internet human migration related researches? how do they choose places, how they migrate between services?
i wrote “internet human”, because the “user”, well, doesn’t really express all the people on the internet.

It is often said that the government is not able to use money/resources efficiently. As efficient as private entrepreneurs can. Well, I agree.
However recently I’ve seen a couple of proprietary software projects, which were closed by the authors. You cannot download the mobile application. There is no website. It’s over.
And I have thought about community projects, collaborative projects. It looks like sometimes community projects can be even more efficient, because(if) they have no(limited) means to earn money. They decrease expenses as much as possible, and design software accordingly. And they can be more sustainable, though they have no income. Of course it depends on the community size. Number of speakers of the technology. (:
An example? Consider failed social network start-up. Now consider Diaspora. Social network start-up had to pay a lot for servers and infrastructure. Keep a space, and developers. Diaspora is hosted in different places, even on cheap one board computers. That’s about design and efficiency. Of course it has problems, and the development is not that fast as desirable. But the project is very efficient in some aspects.

decentralization matters to the regular user: it is very much exhausting to keep several identities and keep them synced. on this site for these people and on that site for those friends. like we aren’t on a one global network, but several not connected worlds.
we had to underestimate what may internet become, and invent rss/openid much earlier, this had to be the foundation of internet, just like smtp was. may be rss/openid is not enough.
even if one chooses photo hosting service, she could choose one, and follow friends on the other services, because all services would provide generic interfaces to exchange the data. and that would lead us to the real competition - where every service has equal opportunities, but must work hard on be a better service.
because otherwise the user will get it’s data and move to other service! and this is what i call a true competition.
now we already lost this. :/ may be something new, in addition or instead of rss/openid will make a change. some new technology, which will define interfaces for data exchange.

It generally takes me some time when talking to people to understand what they mean by terms like “mobile”, “web” and “cloud”. But when I find out, I can help them with it.

on services, which have to sell our information or show us ads: we had to came up with better ideas for them. we had make researches in order to find out how they can earn money. i don’t know how. for example, may be ISP’s need to pay to the web sites proportionally to the amount of traffic. may be we have to pay for internet connection more, to support not only the pipes but the content? but that would make internet less affordable. or it would not increase the price considerably? i don’t know. but we had to think about it.

Social Media and the ‘Spiral of Silence’
A major insight into human behavior from pre-internet era studies of communication is the tendency of people not to speak up about policy issues in public—or among their family, friends, and work colleagues—when they believe their own point of view is not widely shared. This tendency is called the “spiral of silence.”
http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/08/26/social-media-and-the-spiral-of-silence/
They were measuring not in Diaspora, obviously, worked with real people who have real offline friends in those communities. Though I am sure that similar results will be in anonymous communities too. #internet #web #social-media #spiral-of-silence
The most important open and standard technologies to decentralize the web are openid and rss / atom feeds.
Let’s see how far social networks went in supporting these technologies.
It turned out, gplus provides openid, and works as rss reader (they killed reader for that).
That means we cannot follow google users from here(gplus is not federated), while they actually can follow us by subscribing to our atom feeds.
I remember there were discussions and bugs opened.
Just want to say - these features may deserve more attention.

Probably, my main problem with many saas services, including facebook, is that they quietly substitute ideas of technology with exact services. The verb “to google” is a perfect example, because we all know that web search is not limited to google.
Companies like facebook and twitter avoid using standard technologies, so that people think of services provided by company, forgetting that Internet is a network, and it’s about technologies, not companies. It’s a space where anyone can create a service, by using common underlying and free for all technologies.
That’s why saas avoids usage of rss, for example. That’s why there is a question “what’s your name on skype?” instead of “what’s your chat id?”, as we do with email.

As you can see, for recent browser versions, Safari 6 has the highest error rate in our service at .12%, which is less than half of IE 6’s .31% error rate. Chrome 27 and Firefox 22 have virtually nonexistent error rates, with IE and Opera falling in the middle.

Does this sound ridiculous, a perverse #fantasy of some balkanized #Web of the #dystopian #future? Nope: it’s all true, except that my #laptop is actually an #iPad and my #browser is #iTunes / #iBooks.
On the Web, the very idea that the right to read a website would vary from country to country seems patently absurd. #Cyberspace is flat, after all, just computers talking to computers. You, the reader, do not need to concern yourself with where these electrons on your screen are coming from, and neither do I, their publisher, need to care where they are going. And when somebody attempts to artificially block those #electrons — say, #China and its #Great-Firewall — it’s the kind of the thing that the #US #Congress and the #World Trade Organization get worked up about
